Essays on Genealogy

Justice is something which underlies our own society – without it, indeed, some people posit that there can be no such thing as society. While many people state that justice is the same thing as the law, with Plato being the most visible proponent of this theory, others, such as Socrates, hold the two to be very different things. As we shall see below, while Socrates and Plato disagree on whether or not justice and law are the same, they both agree when it comes to addressing the role that justice takes in internal adherence to the values of the ...

MODERN MARKETING FOR AN ANCIENT CITY

MODERN MARKETING FOR AN ANCIENT CITY

Introduction

Belfast is one of the world’s most ancient cities, its location at the mouth of the River Lagan having been continuously occupied since about 2,000 years BCE. There are good reasons for this. Courtesy of the Gulf Stream, the site has a mild climate that seldom gets above 65 degrees F. or below 35 degrees F. Its northern latitude gives it one of the world’s shortest winter, and longest summer, days at the biannual solstices. It rarely snows. The city is ringed by low mountains that create a microclimate to ...

In his work “Gay Science”, Nietzsche examines the nihilism which was characterizing the contemporary Europe. Nietzsche believes that with the scientific inventions, people have lost their human and the virtues that describe Christians. This is why he says that “God is dead”; that we have killed God with our actions. His work was an explanation of fear due to the abandonment of religion. He believes that human beings have ceased to acknowledge the divinity of God, and as a result, God has abandoned us. For thousands of years, the western world has been guided by the rule of God. ...

Symbolic interaction emphasizes the constructed and negotiated aspect of self and social life. As a result it draws attention away from analyses of the structural and institutional features of society. How can some of the key concept (there are at least 10, work with 5) in this framework be used to explore stratification systems and relations of domination and the subordination they sustain. Stratification is based upon the arrangement of groups in social hierarchy which can remain over generations due to the presence of inequality. It includes division of groups according to the caste system, on the basis of ...

Lesson 5.1: The Historical Jesus

Jesus of Nazareth comes publicly as the Messiah and preaches on the Kingdom of God. The Book of John notes, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” This was because Nazareth was an obscure village where Jesus lives. The gospels identify Nazareth as an inconsequential village (Bosworth, 2005). Jesus is the founder of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth he dies to consecrate humanity. Additionally, the Holy Quran mentions Jesus the Nazarene as an important person. The figure of Jesus has a popular historical treatment in the universe. Historically, Jesus was a Galilean the evidence to this assertion lays in ...

In his third essay of the genealogy of morality, Nietzsche combined slave revolt, the feeling of ressentiment and the resurgence of modern reality to develop ascetic ideals. He states that “if one disregards the ascetic ideal” then human lives have no meaning. Nietzsche claims that, the ressentiment man is reluctant to permit things to build within him. The slight injuries that arise transform into a resentful hatred and he build happiness in a very long process. This man focuses on the future, thus, he is full of hope and cleverness unlike the noble man. In line with Nietzsche argument, this ...

Intersectionality is one of the woman’s libbers and the most propagative conception of the critical race theory. Women of color formations are compelled to address Intersectionality and the mutual and complex interactions of race, class, gender and sexuality (Lowe & Lloyd, 1997, p.310). Many feminists debate that a kind consideration of intersectionality is an important element to gain equality in politics and community, and also to improve the autonomous system.

Queer Liberalism

Queer epistemology rethinks intersectionality not just of radical, sexual, or class simultaneity but as a meeting of two streets, and in a landscape long given over to automotivitya place of particular hazard ...

Nietzsche’s genealogy of morality and Freud’s concept of unconsciousness offer distinct explanations for the forces that affect behavior. The relationship in their explanations perhaps lies in the fact that both of them attribute the behavioral factors in human beings to influences. However, the point of departure between the two begins with the nuanced association of the causes of the behavioral influences. While Nietzsche would have us believe that behavioral influences are a factor of social constructs of what is bad and evil, Freud on the other hand, would have us believe that behavior are a factor of internal influences ...

Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals is considered to be one of his most important works. He is one of the most challenging figures in modern philosophy with an undercurrent arguing that Christian morality has reduced human beings to slaves of their own making. He takes the idea of the decadence of Christian morality further in ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ where he states that man must unencumber himself from all things moral and rise above such petty arguments. The master-slave axis is the main undercurrent of these works. Nietzsche argues that man is reduced to the level ...

PART ONE

The divine command theory dictates that whatever god says is morally correct is morally correct and whatever god says is morally wrong is morally wrong. This makes moral dilemmas as easy as looking it up in an instruction manual. This in theory completely resolves the issue of subjectivity in morality. On the other hand the first problem is that this theory presupposes a belief in god and if you don’t believe in god, you certainly won’t be willing to accept an imaginary deities’ codes of conduct because obviously if he isn’t real these rules were not made ...

King Herod lived at a time when the Jews were under the rule of the Romans. This meant that his kingdom had strong influences form their Roman rulers. Herod embraced the Romanicization of his cities into commercial hubs. This flew in the face of Jewish expectations of a city built to the utopist standards of fairness recommended in Jewish teachings. Herod acquired his expansive kingdom through violence in a series of takeovers that were endorsed by Rome. He started by freeing his family and dethroning their arch rivals the powerful Hasmonean. Thereafter, he ran a successful offensive against all cities that were in opposition ...

Introduction

The main four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John provide four views of the divinity of Jesus. Through the interpretations of Bible scholars, these gospels reveal specific and intentional narratives of the story of Jesus and do so with different underpinnings to substantiate the view of the divinity of Jesus for the purpose of the writer. It is only through the historical sense of the biblical scholar interpretations does any sense of these main gospels handling of the divinity of Jesus have any understanding based upon scripture. The scholarly handling of biblical scripture of the New Testament ...

Abstract

In this essay I briefly attempt to draw on religious morality and essentially using the ideas of Nietzsche, dismantle them slightly to discover their relevance today. Using ideas from T.H Green I initially try to establish the religious ideas of morality and how society should work or how Christianity would like them to work and then bring this down to reality, exposing its irrationality and immaturity. Drawing finally on the conclusion that a large portion of modern society actually functions quite well without religion and the fear of the death of religion is unfounded, life would continue on the same ...

Kinship is a relationship among any entities that have a common origin or genealogy. This may be either through biological, historical or cultural decent. The kinship system includes people correlated both by marriage and descent.

Various communities or social settings have different kinship organizations in regard to their ancestral preferences or their social and/or geographical settings.
